Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1425 Minorities
When the time came to July, the earthquake in the officialdom of Cape State broke out as scheduled. A Congressman from Cape State and several state congressmen resigned collectively due to unknown reasons. Many non-governmental organizations, including the Workers' Union, were directly disbanded by the state government and replaced by official organizations led by governments at all levels of the federal government.

On July 7, the Cape Town District High Court conducted a closed trial on a series of cases triggered by the workers' union assembly. As the chairman of the workers' union, Ruf Erik received a total of 10 counts including illegal assembly and inciting sabotage. accused.

Ruff Eric pleaded guilty to all charges and is willing to bear full compensation while undergoing a profound review in court.

The Cape Town District High Court finally decided to sentence Ruff Eric to 15 years in prison, but because of his physical reasons, he decided to execute Ruff Eric outside of prison.

Because the case was not heard in public, after the trial, no one saw Rufu Eric and his family. There were rumors that Rufu Eric was secretly executed by the Cape State government, and some people insisted that Rufu Eric was held on Robben Island, and some people claimed to have seen Rufu Eric in New York, USA.

In any case, the once-massive Workers’ Union officially became history in Cape Town. Stoudemire fulfilled his promise and fired all the workers who participated in the rally. Among them, the African-American workers who participated in the robbery were sent to Kimberley to mine. The Christian Human Resources Company sent 3000 African-American workers on the third day after the rally, and the Cape Town port had returned to normal when the Cape Town District High Court opened a trial for Ruff Eric.

When Stoudemire made drastic reforms, Owen was not idle in Cape Town.

Although not as swift and resolute as Stoudemire, Owen wins after making a plan. After he decided to reform the Cape Liberal Party, he did not rush to do it. Instead, he waited for Stoudemire to be elected governor and after everything settled, Owen made a bold move, almost The top leaders of the Cape Liberal Party have collectively changed their blood.

Except for several Chinese Congressmen including Chen Yan.

"Yes, I have decided to appoint you as the chairman of the Liberal Party of Cape State. What do you think?" Owen was still looking forward to Chen Yan.

While staying in Cape Town, as he got to know the Cape Liberal Party better, Chen Yan began to come into Owen's sight.

In the current Cape State, the ratio of Chinese to whites is about 4.5 to 5.5. As the state with the largest number of whites in southern Africa, the number of whites in Cape State is only about [-]% more than that of Chinese.

The whites in Cape State are not only British, but also Boers, French, Germans, and descendants of immigrants from other European countries. Overall, they are not very united.

The Chinese in Cape State are relatively united. With Oak Town as the center, the Chinese in Cape State mainly live in the Eastern Cape. Chen Yan’s reputation among Chinese Americans is second only to Rock. Owen hopes to use Chen Yan’s popularity among Chinese Influence, helping the Liberal Party complete its counterattack against the Progressive Party.

"It's an honor——" Chen Yan leaned forward to express his gratitude, but he wasn't too excited, and his performance was still very calm.

"We have already lost this election, and we will face the suppression of the Progressive Party in the next few years. How do you plan to lead the Liberal Party to complete the counterattack against the Progressive Party?" Owen is still looking forward to Chen Yan.

In a few days, Owen will leave Cape Town and return to Pretoria. Since the competition has failed, Owen will not stay in Cape Town for too long. Next, the governor of the Transvaal will also be replaced. Owen still wants to Go ahead and try.

"Mr. Cecil Rhodes has acted decisively. We in the Liberal Party may be forced to be on the defensive for the next few years, but this does not mean that we will do nothing. We must wait patiently for the opportunity to come. Maybe because Cecil Rhodes Mr. Si made a mistake, perhaps because of other reasons, but we must first do our own work well and transform the Liberal Party into a political party that represents the interests of all Cape people. We still have a lot of work to do in this regard.” Chen Yan Not optimistic, the state government has little chance of making mistakes, and Stoudemire has his own think tank.

There is no problem with that. If Stoudemire performs well as the governor of Cape, then Chen Yan is also happy to see it. As long as Cape State can get back on track, it doesn't matter who is the governor.

"We must try our best to win the support of farmers and new immigrants, and complete the transformation of the Liberal Party as soon as possible during Cecil's term as governor. After five years, Stoudemire's term expires. We must make the best preparations." Owen It's a pity that he came to Cape State for too short a time, and he didn't have Stoudemire's prompt decision, so he was not wronged.

"I will—" Chen Yan was patient, but his confidence was slightly lacking.

After being elected, Stoudemire has performed very well during this period of time. Ask yourself, even if Chen Yan is elected as the governor, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to attack the civil organizations in Cape State.

Through a large-scale replacement of congressmen and government officials, Stoudemire has secured the position of governor and gradually cleared the obstacles. I am afraid that there will be bigger moves in the future.

After communicating with Chen Yan, Owen left Cape Town for Pretoria that night.

Chen Yan also did not hold a farewell ceremony for Owen. Compared with the smugness when he came to Pretoria, Owen was very low-key when he left Cape Town. This failure left a deep impression on Owen. Owen It should be able to learn enough lessons from it, which is also a good thing for Irving.

Just when Stoudemire carried out drastic reforms in Cape State, Yang Smozi easily won the election in Orange State as predicted by many, and was elected Governor of Orange State with an absolute advantage of 65 votes. It's a fresh start for both Young Smoltz and Orange State.

After Yang Smotz was elected as the governor, he did not perform a major operation similar to Cape State on Orange State. Instead, he came to Pretoria first, hoping that Philip could fulfill the promise he had given to Yang Smozi. Pledge to do more for Orange State.

"The situation in Orange State is not good, the traffic is backward, and the public infrastructure is seriously insufficient. Bloemfontein does not even have a decent hospital in the whole city, and there are only two libraries in the whole city. Although the state government took the lead in establishing Bloemfontein University, but there are less than 1000 students, and the teaching level is not good enough, even the students from Orange State are unwilling to apply for Bloemfontein University—” Yang Smozi was still able to calm down, and said There is only one meaning inside and outside: no money!

Orange State is indeed poor, let alone compared with the surrounding Transvaal and Cape, even Bechuanaland has a certain gap.

But this cannot be blamed on others. The reason why Orange State has fallen to where it is today is certainly one of the reasons for the lack of help from the federal government. The more important reason is the conservativeness of the Orange State government and its resistance to the federal government.

In fact, the federal government's help to the states has more or less strings attached, and it is not free assistance without return.

Orange State was used to interest-free loans or free aid from London before the establishment of the federal government, and was more resistant to conditional help from the federal government.

For the federal government, it doesn't matter whether Orange State cooperates or not. Some states are willing to cooperate. Even Nyasaland and Rhodesia seem to be subject to the management of the federal government. What is Orange State?
As a result, in recent years, not only the federal government has given little help to Orange State, but even companies from southern Africa have rarely invested in Orange State, which has formed a vicious circle. Without investment, Orange State The state government and the people of Orange have no income. Without income, there will be no taxation. Without taxation, the state government has no money to improve public infrastructure. Even the Rand Bank is unwilling to lend money to the Orange State government. It can be seen that Oran How bad is the situation in Zhizhou?

"Christian, the status quo in Orange State is not caused by one person, and it will not be changed overnight. The federal government will definitely give Orange State the help it deserves, but Orange State should also actively contribute to The federal government is getting closer, and the contribution has never been unilateral." Philip did not tell the eagle if he saw a rabbit, and the federal government's money was not so easy to get.

For the federal states, the help of the federal government is actually a double-edged sword. It is a pity not to take it, but it is actually too hot to take it.

To put it bluntly, it is all an exchange of interests. If you want the support of the federal government, you have to give up part of your power. Either you are obedient and obedient like Bechuanaland and support the federal government wholeheartedly, or you are like Nyasaland and Rhodesia. Neither give up power, nor covet aid from the federal government, hello, hello, hello everyone.

"Of course, I understand this truth. Orange has always been a part of southern Africa. The people of Orange made some mistakes in the past. Now it's time to get back on track." It is nonsense for people to resist the federal government on the grounds of sticking to tradition.

Let alone the tradition of the Boers now, even the scope of use of the Boer language is gradually shrinking, and fewer and fewer people can speak the Boer language. In the long run, it is hard to say whether the tradition will be preserved. The Boers are about to disappear, so what about tradition?
During the past few years of working in London, Yang Smoltz has turned Yang Smolzy into a real Englishman. Now Yang Smolzy will not consider issues from the narrow perspective of a Boer, and even more so. Most of the issues are considered from the perspective of the entire southern Africa.

In this way, the conclusion is very clear. If Yang Smozi is the prime minister of southern Africa, Yang Smozi will not let the Boers continue to be special.

The total population of the Boers once accounted for 60.00% of the total population of southern Africa. The Boers at that time did have special capital.

The current Boers have dropped to about 5.00% of the total population in southern Africa. They are a proper minority, so what is so special about it.
